Thanks for approaching healthcare magic team. There is nothing to be worried if Covasc tablets are missed for 4-5 days. But if there are symptoms like increased heart rate, sweating, giddiness and restlesness, then Concor 5 mg tablets can be given. After you reach home Covasc tablets have to be taken regularly. I would suggest to get your BP checked once u reach home and then take your doctor's advice for any dosage adjustments. Please get back for any further queries. Thank you.
